The Slums
SINIB:
Clara
Fear. Animosity. Sadness. Determination. The homunculus was taken by surprise and slammed against the rubble of the crumbled building. She felt some of her ribs break and began coughing up blood from the force of the impact.
Damage assessment-critically injured. Escape inplausible
Mothra heard a cold and calculated voice in the girl's mind. And then, a new emotion surfaced: resignation.
Clara vomited blood up, spitting it up onto the mothgirl's face. She wrapped her arms and legs around the girl's torso, holding her tightly.
My lady gives lost souls new life. My mistress would never do, can't do any wrong! She replied. Mothra felt a sudden increase in magical energy in the woman's chest, growing exponentially. I will NEVER betray her! She'll give both of us new life, and then you'll understand!
YOLF:
Justice
The ancient, otherworldly cowboy looked back at Suerte placidly. His scarf shook with the rumble of his voice. "Looks like that was their loss."
Justice stopped pacing, crossing his arms.
"I use magic, but I'm not a sorcerer," he said, as though it was natural to expect the difference to not be lost on her. "There isn't much I can gather from just looking. A third party might have tried to tie a loose end, and the murderer arrived in time to stop that, before dealing with it on their own."
He shook his head and walked towards the door. "We need more context."

Mothra:
The kaiju girl gave a startled squeak when her captive doused her face with blood, confusion only increasing when the woman wrapped around her. Then, Mothra realized she was going to blow herself up...
Mothra took a few steps back, leaving her free talon embedded in the wall. Face twisting in strain, she tried to wrench her left arm free while trying to push the other woman with her right. Despite being weaker than her, the other woman just had too many points of contact, especially since she had the mahou kaiju's left arm trapped between their chests. With her opponent's magical energy rising, Mothra started to panic!
It was no longer the time to think, it was time to just act. Survival instincts kicking in, Mothra surged forward again and slammed into the wall. Her free hand shot out, grabbing hold of the embedded talon's handle and yanked it free. She then drove the pointed in right into the blonde's skull...

Clara
This was it...
Clara had failed. She'd failed. She'd failed. Failedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailed!
She wasn't going to be able to detonate in time. Even her last ditch efforts had failed. She was worthless! Worthless to her mistress! Her queen!
Tears welled up in her eyes, streaming down her cheeks as the hand plunged into her skull, destroying her fragile brain held inside. As the hand cut through her like a hot blade through butter, the spell that she'd been gestating inside of her went out of control, blowing out her back. With her own viscera and gore splattered on the rubble behind them, Clara's eyes turned dull as she returned to her lifeless sleep once again, wondering if Eru would revive her once more...
The last thought Mothra read was the girl's memory of a smiling elf's face with a distinctive purple gem embedded in her forehead.

Suerte
Suerte turned her head, watching Justice walk away. Then, it returned to the scene of the crime. Standing before the blood bath, she couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. A chill ran through her body, a shiver through her spine, down her legs. Yet there was another feeling, one just as strong. Part of her wondered if she should have just taken the job for free. Maybe they wouldn't have died. She could have saved their lives and gotten her thrill. Now she was just doing the first one.
Turning back to Justice, she jumped when she saw he was already by the entrance. She bolted to his side, placing her arms behind her back as she stared up at him from below. "And how are we going to do that?"
